What is a sanctuary?
A sanctuary (religious
or non-religious) is wholeness experienced as (or within) a particular real identity,
that is to say, as wholeness, i.e. completion found within an actual limit or
boundary. Arrival at
(indeed, having transformed one’s self as) a sanctuary (and which is the
virtual (rather than actual) end of a particular pilgrimage) produces the
experience of absolute wholeness (hence of @100% fullness, hence of total
fulfilment) of a particular identity. Entry to the
midst of a sanctuary, and which means leaving the enclosure-that-limits
behind, and which means relinquishing real identity (i.e. particular boundary
or limitation), results in access to (actually merging with or being immersed
in or @1 with) unbounded wholeness, namely SANCTUM(i.e. the Holy of Holies or
the Ground of holiness) before real identity, or to undifferentiated, hence
universal wholeness (in some quarters expressed as ‘the peace that passeth
all understanding-identification). Since,
however, SANCTUM (i.e. identity and reality free wholeness, completeness,
certainty and so on) cannot affect without identity, that is to say, without
boundary (hence not presenting as an identifiable unit) and therefore act
spiritually, i.e. make real and display identity, i.e. become an identifiable
unit of reality), the wholly fulfilled state (i.e. the pilgrim inside and
@rest (hence holy) in her home and released from identity) must leave SANCTUM
(i.e. holiness as such). She does that by limiting the SANCTUM as an identifiable
self, therefore as a particular sanctuary, in the process sacrificing (in
fact denying) her state of unlimited wholeness (and becoming an incomplete,
in religious-speak, a ‘sinner’, a profane) and accepting the sorrow (and
later on joy) of less-than-perfect-(i.e. unbounded)-fullness/wholeness. Every true
self (i.e. a unit of identity (or difference), read: a particular sanctuary)
operates as SANCTUM limited, hence particularised, hence relativised, hence
merely locally (or relatively) true. In short, each and every appearance
(read: a turbulence or order of 1 presenting as reified turbulence) in the
universe is holiness as such (hence absolute) relativised. Therefore, all
forms @ rest (i.e. saints in their sanctuaries), therefore presenting as potentially
real identifiable steady states, are virtually holy. They become holy (or
whole) as everyday reality only upon contact with an alternate virtually holy
state. Unit (i.e.
quantum) status = virtual holiness status. Random contact (i.e. strike or
instruction) between 2 units (or quanta) results in actual (or real) holiness
status for both. Since both
units (or quanta = sanctuaries) are ‘dead’, i.e. internally @ rest, i.e. @
maximum anti-entropy, to begin life they must collide, thus fragmenting (i.e.
becoming active (or turbulated), thereby losing their unit status. In short,
the price for creating a moment of real and identifiable holiness is the loss
of holiness. By interacting with the world, the saint becomes a sinner. The
sinner becomes a saint by denying (i.e. forfeiting) the world, namely
identifiable reality. Consequently,
“Life happens after death”. The sanctuary shines when it
wills
